How strictly enforced are the limitations on window tint where you have lived?

Not too bad, seems like it used to be worse in the early 2000s.

They had a period where they were "cracking down" on it. But it doesn't seem to matter now a days. They're more worried about bathrooms and getting paid $15/hour to do a job that my dog could do if you trained her.

No idea. I don't have tinted windows. I don't have to hide from anyone.

not too bad as long as it doesn't obscure the brake tag

Why not just follow the law like a decent white person?

But I like to pick my nose without having some Bernie Sanders supporter hanging out their window while driving trying to video me.

Honestly, I think you are more likely to have trouble depending on which vehicle the tint is on, and how aggressive or how late are you out driving.

I had somewhat dark (still illegal) tint on a small car for years with no problem. Sold it to my younger brother and he had 2 tickets in the first month. I told him to stop running through stop signs and red lights at 2am.

Kenner, it's pretty strict I just keep "darkest legal" so I can pass. Our brake tag station runs a check on everyone's windows, when I was younger I would just peel the tint and retint every year. No longer do that, but do have to buy a windshield every year;

Got a ticket in 2000 in my fast & furious car, then got pulled over and let go a month later returning from honeymoon for it. Guy let us go that time. Got it changed and been going with legal ever since.

depends on how late at night it is and if they think you're driving drunk. Basically it's an excuse to pull you over.

Car inspection nazi's are more libel to make you pull off the tint than a cop in my experience.

You should accuse the cop of being a racist. "Is all crime "dark" to you sir?"

They'll give you a ticket if you are a little kid. Otherwise, I haven't had trouble with 10%

Tinted windows can dramatically reduce temperatures inside the vehicle in the summer and can substantially prolong interior condition, especially leather.

Depends.

If you drive an 85 Cutlass or Chrysler 300 then they will check your tint.


If its a Mercedes or GMC you are probably good.

Depends on the car and rims. I rolled in a Camry that had windows black as soot.

I have a Subaru Outback I'm going to tint

Cops will just think I'm another lesbian and let me go on my merry way.

Never have liked leather interiors and I drive with my windows down 90% of the time.
